the luk krung issue interests me too, in terms of will they if allowed become a strong factor in thai society, not just on tv/models, but in the professions and more traditional thai structure.
imho, if your father is a boozing, semi literate farang, and he has some money, he could by virtue of that increase the childs education opportunities, better schools, diet, exposure to a different life view than your average issan farmer.
a child with a farang father with a decent education, money, and an active interest in the childs education then surely that childs options are increased.
the nuturing aspect to me is the key, a child allowed freedom and the backing of parents with a vision to its future, will have more chance to reach their potential, than the child with parents of similar financial means but lacking the education/vision to fully develop their child.
we all know people that have come from the worst of upbringings and achieved some real positives career wise, some drag themselves up, but most have the input of positive role models upon them, eg teachers who can see potential in the child, a career path that allows development in a disciplined environment eg military.
farang/thai relationships do change the social landscape in thailand but will their offsprings chances be increased within a fairly traditional and closed sector of the thai society?.
